J.R. Smith Ticketed For Illegal Scootering On South Beach

Cops took towed Ocho’s Segway the other night and now they got JR Smith for riding on a scooter without a license. Do you need a special license to ride a scooter?

The Miami PD are not playing around during this Memorial Day weekend.

J.R. Smith is not going to gain any street cred from this arrest — he was popped in Miami this weekend for operating a scooter without a valid driver’s license.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Smith, who has played the last five seasons with the Denver Nuggets, was not taken to jail for the offense. We’re told Smith signed a notice to appear — he’ll get his court date later.

The good news for JR is that he didn’t end up like Garrett Wolfe.

I have no clue why these guys let their driver’s license expire so often, you only have to get it done like once every 6 years.
